Info in brief

Collaboration is the object of research in diverse fields, which underpins the need for interdisciplinary approaches to this social phenomenon. Therefore the scope of the conference will be devoted to highlight the various concepts of collaboration in the modern world, since collaboration includes a number of different attributes such as: reciprocity, partnerships, transfer and exchange of information, joint negotiations, dialogue, joint creation of knowledge, etc.

In previous years, the importance of collaboration between key stakeholders in society was considered of secondary importance – just as (un)intentional product. Today, however, call for increased collaboration occurs in virtually all areas of social action. Progressively, more attention is given to cooperation between higher education and economy and the formation of (in)formal coalitions within organizations or society. These policies underpin collaboration’s position of power in the society.

The purpose of this conference is to contribute to an increased understanding of the role of collaboration and, by doing so, to build an interdisciplinary approach.

The organisers welcome the submission of papers to the overall theme Multi-faceted nature of collaboration in contemporary world or to one of the following special sub-themes:

1. Collaboration in EU: Challenges and opportunities
2. Collaboration mechanisms in the process of knowledge creation
3. Interdisciplinarity and collaboration
4. Post-traditional forms of collaboration
5. Collaboration in historical prospective 
6. Collaboration between universities and society
7. Down-sides of collaboration
8. Networks and collaboration
9. Collaboration in public or private organizations
10. Collaboration in the multicultural context
11. Methodological issues and collaboration

Papers from other sub-fields of collaboration studies are also invited.
